Matthew 11:25-30
Psalm 132

Last week's reading ended with strong words of judgment by Jesus. The words following this are an invitation to come to Jesus. Showing again the theme throughout the Old Testament, God's judgment is a way he uses to get people's attention to change their ways. God is always there to receive us when we turn to him.

Jesus' invitation is 'Come to me' is repeating what he offered in the Sermon on the Mount. We need God's NO! to keep us alert to wandering away from his path; God's YES! Is always our way back to Him.
